Okay. This is where
real fucking shit is gonna go down. Seriously, I'm holding nothing back. I even decided to wait until afterward to take my medication. Fortunately, I'm going to not actually name anyone or anything here, and please, don't take any of this personally. Trust me, you are not alone.
Starting first with things I hate on MSDB.
People who treat MSDB as a chatroom wrote:

MS8 wishlist posters wrote:
O HAY YOU GUISE I WANT TREVOR AND NADIA DESPITE THEIR DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE AT THE END OF MS4 AND KEEP ALL THE CHARACTERS INCLUDING RALF AND CLARK AND PUT IN CLOUD FROM FINAL FANTASY AND KIRBY AND MARIO AND SOLID SNAKE AND MAKE EVERY WEAPON TOTALLY CHEAP AND PUT THEM EVERYWHERE AND MAKE THE GAME EASIER AND LET US KILL MORDEN AND END THE SERIES AND MAKE THE NEXT GAME THE KIND OF CRAP NO ONE COULD POSSIBLY LIKE INCLUDING ME ONCE I PLAY IT LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WITH MS7
And there's more, but I'm not going to post it, and I'm seriously thinking twice about what I already have alone.
Now onto Sprite Wars. Hopefully people will actually take my advice and put it to good use, instead of flaming and telling me that I'm "a bigot" and to "go fuck myself". Seriously, it gained three pages of hate messages. In reply to not three, not two, but
ONE post. I wasn't even there to see any of them. That's just sad.
Again, however, I'm not going to point anyone out because we all know a major flame war will ensue, and we don't want that happening again, now, do we?
The supposedly 'good' spriters, who get floods of replies saying 'OMIGAWD UR AWSUM' and such wrote:
Vector, as in NOT PIXEL art with more than 256 colors, with blurring, lens flares, antialiasing, Photoshop filter effects, colors never available in any console, sprite edits that would add twenty thousand gigs of data to an already-huge file, backgrounds that are actually photographs of a landscape, constantly differing frame sizes, inconsistencies in style, effects, storyline, and just plain general imagery, vehicles that could never fit on a screen as cannon fodder, one-hit vehicle kills, and so on.
The 'okay' spriters, who at least in my opinion are actually better wrote:
Pixel art with four-color 8-bit sprites (Which is actually the correct number, but still) in an obviously 16-bit universe, with dead people simply using a standing animation on its side, lacking any real animation in sprites, badly positioned sprites, altogether missing effects such as hitsparks, failure to study how the game, story, or whatever, works (If all else fails, you can still base things on RL), obvious duplicates of the exact same frame, etc.
So then who should all the spriters look up to? Okay, names here, but it's good. Trust me.
I know exactly who to idiolize! Because even I have someone to look up to (Believe it or not)... *Drum roll*
EVERYONE, FROM NOW ON YOUR GOD IS CRAZY SLUGCrazy Slug wrote:
Long time no see, my friends!
I've been away for a long time now, but still remain faithful in producing MS5X. The completely new engine is practically identical to the real thing! I'm still working on the first boss, which will be epic (way moreso than the pathetic MSA bosses before), therefore I cannot release the actual game yet. Also, at its current condition, very few of you will be able to run out without clocking out your comps, but the solution is at hand. The Slug Gunner will not be available, even though it's fully functional. As you can see, it also features the combo system from MS6+, and a fully functional scoring system to boot. For newbs, there is a super awesome tutorial screen that is more comprehensive than what the real games provide. Again, I apologise for the wait, but I am only one person, and am slowly acquiring a life.

That's about it for there though. I almost never go there.
Now for the stuff none of you will actually be offended by. IRL. Here I'm actually going to name people, because who the fuck cares here if they're trolled?

At that point I just slapped him. There's no other way to communicate.
Then there's Ben. Who used to be a complete ass but is at least a little better now. Used to get angry super-fast and throw chairs even faster. Fortunately he stopped, but still...

Newspapers speaking of the Hudson River crash wrote:
The plane landed in the freezing-cold water
Okay, this is a really annoying quote. First of all, an airliner cannot land in water. It
crashed into the water. Landing is what airlines do at the airport.
Secondly, "freezing-cold water" is an
oxymoron. If it is freezing cold, it is ice, not water. If it is water, it is not freezing cold.
So stop calling it that.
Many basketball announcers wrote:
They scored twelve consecutive baskets in a row!
How that literally translates wrote:
They scored twelve consecutive baskets consecutively!
Notice how dumb that ends up sounding.
Next up, Barack Obama and his incredibly dumb stimulus package. Closing Gitmo is enough of a mistake, but seriously, why the fuck does the
government need to build a train to Vegas if the marketplace shows they don't actually need it? If there's a need for it, the marketplace will make it. Not the government.
Obviously, a big enemy on my list is those damned liberals. Here's why.
In my opinion, the government's job is nothing except protecting people from harming other people. People can manage themselves. We don't need the damn government telling us what to do. Period.
Then, there's those crazy weirdos who simply hate conservatives because they hate
Bush. I once talked to someone who said that America was becoming a 'police state', a 'totalitarian society', and that 'it's all because of Bush'. Okay, think about this. Bush is a conservative. The whole point of conservatism is to
PREVENT TOTALITARIAN SOCIETIES AND POLICE STATES. And if A=B and B=C then A=C. What does this mean? BUSH
PREVENTED TOTALITARIAN SOCIETIES AND POLICE STATES FROM FORMING IN THE U.S. God.
Now...I'm sure I have more, but I can't think of it. Bah. Keep that stuff in mind though, because I am telling some of you this so that you can remedy your problems.
Edit: LOL MOAR FAIL

I'd just let it alone, and see what happens, then after 10 or so pages of fail, THEN lock it.

Except by posting, we contribute directly to the failing of this thread.
In fact, counting this post:
11 posts total, so:
Dan @ 3 posts: 27% of failness
CC @ 1 post: 9%
Leon @ 1 post: 9%
QM @ 3 posts: 27%
Roy @ 1 post 9%
And Reverse with the rest, or 19%
Or if we grade on a sliding scale, then Reverse takes all. This is the preferred method.
Your logic fails.
Dan wrote:
Ah, but then you see, we can pretty much neglect all posts befre 04-Leonhardt's, where the idea has first been hatched and brought onto light. So all posts after 04-Leonhardt's would now fall under the contribution towards fail.
So it would be 1 post for me, you, and 04-Leonhardt, making it 1/3% for each.
[Topic turns into a battle of logic]
I love you Dan.

God forbid we should be logical. That, if anything will piss Reverse off. And as it stands, seeing as how both mine and your posts were logical, they don't really contribute to the overall failness of this thread. Therefore, current failness rests on Codebreak and Leon. And perhaps Reverse for starting this topic.
Mmm, logic. The only language I will bother listening to.

Like how Reverse claims that I "derail topics and know everything about anime...except its number one site"
Oh, congrats to you. Now I'll name that quote, "Roy-G-Biv, idiotic master of topic derailing and idiotic master of anime except for this thing we call 4chan".
Then everyone will know who you are.
